[s-cars] Tire Recommendations

[Tim Radbourne]

I am waiting on a set of Conti Extreme Contacts in 225/50/16.  Seem real
hard to get.  I am wondering if I may use them year round???

I'll let you all know if they are good enough for year round use once I
get a set.

Tire Rack says Sept earliest.....

Joel:

I'm running Bridgestone RE730's and have about 10k on them. Tires came
w/ the car when I bought them. So far, the treadware has been pretty
fair. I had a sidewall blowout last year which was fortunately covered
by the warranty. $167.00 a pop! Yikes. I don't have much experience w/
other tires on this car, but the RE730's are great. Z rated so the hug
the corners well and great in the wet Seattle streets. Have to admit
they're a bit loud, but I guess what you would expect for summer tires.
I kept them on this winter and did several drives up Steven's
pass...slipped a few times but still managed 60mph...cake.

To be safe (and appease my wife), I'll be picking up either some Blizzak
LM22s or Continental ExtremeContacts for the winter time.
